K: Well, uh, when I was a mechanoid, the right nipple-nut was used to, uh, regulate body temperature, while the left nipple-nut was used mainly to, uh, pick up shortwave radio transmissions. Now, what I'm saying is, no matter how hard I twiddle it, I can't seem to pick up Jazz FM.

L: Human nipples don't do that, Kryten.

K: I see. Fine. Ah: recharging. Now, I presume that, uh, when a human wants to recharge they do it much the same way mechanoids do. Indeed, I have located what I presume to be the recharging socket, but for some strange reason it doesn't appear to have the standard three-pin adaptor. Now, do I have to use some kind of special adaptor? Because, no matter what do, the lead just keeps falling out.

L: Kryten, we eat and sleep: that's our way of recharging.

K: Hmm. Ah yes, now, I wanted to talk to you about something. Something about, um, well, something I know we humans get a little embarrassed about. It's a bit of a taboo subject – not the sort of thing we like to sit around and chat about in polite conversation.

K: Well, I want to talk to you about my penis. I knew it, you've gone straight into smirk mode. Aren't we both two human adults? Can't we discuss our reproductive system without adolescent sniggering?

L: Yeah, of course we can.

K: Thank you. (hands Lister a polaroid) Well?

L: `Well' what?

K: Well, what do you think?

L: I'm not quite with you here, Kryten. What am I supposed to say?

K: I want to know: is that normal?

L: What? Taking photographs of it and showing it to your mates? No, it's not!

K: Well, but is it supposed to look like that?

L: Well, yeah.

K: It's hideous! That's the best design they could come up with? Are you seriously telling me there were choices, and someone said "Ah, there, that's it. That's the shape we're looking for: The last-chicken-in-the-shop look"? Shakespeare had one? Einstein? Perry Como sang `Memories are Made of This' with one of those stashed in his slacks?

L: Well, yeah.

K: No wonder humans don't have a zoom mode! Ugh. Now, take a look at this (hands Lister another polaroid. Lister rotates it several times, perplexed) and this. (hands Lister second polaroid. Lister holds them side-by-side, then top to bottom. Sudden shock) Now why do you suppose that happened?

L: Wwwwwhat were you thinking of at the time?

K: Well, nothing in particular, sir. I was just idly flicking through an electrical-appliance catalogue. I came across the section on super-deluxe vacuum cleaners and suddenly my underpants elastic was catapulted across the medical bay.

L: You see, man, you're neither one thing or the other. You shouldn't be getting erotic thoughts about electrical appliances.

K: It was a triple-bag easy-glide vac with turbo-suction and a self-emptying dustbag.

L: Kryten, I don't care what model it was. No vacuum cleaner should give a human being a double polaroid. Do yourself a favor, man, change back.

The RK9000 is essentially an off-brand Ducky keyboard. Great quality, unlike most of Rosewill's cheap products. It's fun to read the reviews on some of their products, like the USB 3.0 hub that comes bundled with one of the RK9000's.

The problem is that Newegg slaps the Rosewill brand on a LOT of low-quality parts, though, and that's why they usually have a very low price. It's not very common to see a good-quality item re-badged and imported here by Newegg.

My point is just that Newegg imports stuff from all over Asia and from many different OEMs. Some of it is junky, some of it is quite decent. That's why you need to appraise RW products on a case-by-case basis, usually via the user reviews.

I think I am actually. I was really interested in the Filco, but apparently they are unattainable with Cherry MX Black switches. I have all but given up trying to find one in a full size. Looks like Rosewill it is.

Yeah, I have a Filco Ninja like in the picture, with Brown switches. Honestly if you're in the United States, just grab a Rosewill RK-9000 for $80 if you want Black switches. I paid $160ish for my Filco from Amazon, I really wanted to the cool "Ninja" style keys with the printing on the bottom of the keycaps :P

Do you think that it was worth it? I'm worried about my keys rubbing off the letters. It's happened to me many times. Also, I know Filco makes different key colors, and that would be an interesting set up if I ever felt like switching anything out.

I got my Filco 10key less after new years and I have to say it was the best $170.00 I have ever spent. I got the cherry blues in mine and they do the job extremely well. So much Taka-Taka-Taka going on.

I hope you're not referring to the myth that blue switches are difficult to rapidly double-tap the same key, due to the switch activation and release point. If you are, forget it, because that is simply not the case. Yes, the information you've seen is accurate and the release point on the blue switches is higher than the activation point, but in reality, it's such a miniscule difference that it's VERY difficult to cause an error, even if you're intentionally trying to do it. Also, if you do somehow manage to not fully release the switch, you'll instantly know it because the key won't click when you press it down the next time.

In other words, any bad things you've heard about blue switches and gaming is a complete load of poop. I game on blue switches and I've played everything from RTS (Starcraft 2) to high level Quake Live without ever once having a single issue. Also, they're fucking awesome to type on.

The only thing that really matters for gaming, in my opinion at least, is that the switches need to have enough resistance so that you won't accidentally press a key just by mistake. Blue switches aren't as firm as blacks, but compared to a rubber membrane keyboard they are MORE than enough.

Well, you can buy new keycaps for any Cherry MX keyboard, doesn't have to be a Filco. Even if you buy the Rosewill for $80 and your keycaps wear out eventually, you can purchase a replacement set of keycaps from WASD Keyboards for $40, and get engraved keys so you won't have to worry about wearing.

Personally I'm not a fan of the shape of the case that they use for their keyboards, I prefer the look of the Filco/Rosewill, but yeah being able to customize the board with the key colors you want is really cool.

I have a Majestouch II with brown switches and I have to say it was worth every penny. The keyboard itself is actually quite heavy and sturdy. From the moment you take it out of the box the build quality is apparent. I spend a lot of time on my computer (who would have guessed, right?) and I've had my keyboard since December and none of my keycaps have started to fade at all.

I don't understand how anyone has to look at the keyboard. I don't type correctly, I just hunt and peck, but from using the computer so much I know where the letters are well enough that I don't have to look, and I can hunt and peck at a good 80+ WPM.

The Filcos definitely are worth it if you can get your hands on one. I just got a Ninja Tenkeyless with Browns and my dad got a Ninja Tenkeyless with Blues and we both love them. That said, we bought them in Tokyo since we were in Japan last week so that may not be an option for you.

If anyone is going to Tokyo and wants a Filco then I will share that I found that most major stores (Sofmap, Yodobashi Camera, Bic Camera) have them for the exact same price (~¥11k with tax, varies a bit on switch colour). I bought my Brown at Yodobashi in Akihabara and we got my dad's Blue from Bic Camera outside of Yurakucho station. Also you can get them duty-free if you show your passport and are in Japan on a regular tourist visa.

If going to Japan isn't an option then I'd probably go with a Leopold - which is what I was going to get before I realized I could snag a Filco in the Land of the Rising Sun.

My friend has a Filco keyboard with brown switches. The build and overall feel of the keyboard is nice and solid. He had to order his off of a Taiwanese website and had to use google translator quite a bit to make sure the order was done right.

If you can find a Filco keyboard then I say go for it! You can't really lose when buying a Filco keyboard!

Nah man, it's all about the Das keyboard that shit will make your fingers orgasm with every key press. They offer a %15 discount if you are a student. I've had mine for close to a year and no problems as of yet!
